Definitions

  • R(NHCOOR) in which R is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical, R is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic. aromatic or heterocyclic radical and n is an integer.
  • N-Monosubstituted carbamates are usually prepared by the reaction of an isocyanate with an alcohol or a phenol or by the reaction of a primary amine with a chloroformic acid ester; these method-s normally, although not essentially, involve the use of phosgene to prepare the isocyanate or the chlorformic acid ester.
  • N-monosubstituted carbamates may be prepared by the reaction of an alcohol with certain types of substituted urea, in particular N-arylureas, N,N'diarylureas, trialkylureas and N-aryl-N',N- dialkylureas.
  • substituted urea may be readily prepared from aryl and/or alkyl amines without the use of phosgene and it follows that an important advantage of the alcoholysis method over the other methods mentioned above is that it does not require the use of phosgene at any stage during the preparation of the reactants.
  • R is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical
  • R' is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical
  • n is an integer, wherein a trisubstituted urea of the general formula:
  • R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent aliphatic or aromatic radical and R" is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent aliphatic radical or R and R together represent a substituted or unsubstituted divalent radical in which at least one of the two carbon atoms adjoining the nitrogen atom or the urea group is aliphatic, is reacted at an elevated temperature with a hydroxy compound of the general formula:
  • n and m which may be the same or different, are preferably 1 or 2.
  • the major produce obtained has the general formula, R[NHCOOR(Ol-l),, Alternatively, if the hydroxy compound-is present in a very small stoichiometric excess and m and n are both 2, then the major product is a polyurethane of the general formula HO[R"OcONHRNHCOOhR Ol-l,
  • a trisubstituted urea of the general formula, (HO),,,R(NHCONROR”), is reacted with gaseous hydrogen chloride at an elevated temperature.
  • each hydroxyl group is attached to the same molecule as one or more urea groups and this polyfunctionality leads to the formation of a polyurethane, with the proviso that when the hydroxyl group is separated from the urea group by two, three, four or five carbons, cyclisation may also occur and may even predominate.
  • m and n are both 1, the polyurethane product has a linear structure but in all other cases the polyurethane is either branched or crosslinked, the degrees of which depend upon the individual values of m and n.
  • Typical but not limiting substituents in R and R' include nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, aryl and heterocyclic; typical but not limiting substituents in R are nitro, alkyl and aryl; and typical but not limiting substituents in R" arenitro and aryl.
  • reaction of the process of the present invention may be represented by the following equation:
  • the reaction can be carried out in an inert solvent, a wide range of which can be used.
  • the preferred temperature at which the reaction is carried out depends, to some extent, upon the nature of the trisubstituted urea used. In general, a higher reaction temperature is required when R is aliphatic than when R is aromatic but the preferred temperature for either class is normally within the range IOO200C. Except in certain special cases, it is preferred to use the hydroxy compound in excess. However, too great an excess of a volatile alcohol may reduce the reaction temperature, thereby causing the reaction to slow down or even to cease.
  • the reaction may be carried out either at atmospheric or at superatmospheric pressure.
  • An excess of hydrogen chloride is preferably used to ensure complete reaction and an inert gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, can be passed through the reaction mixture, after completion of the reaction, in order to flush out residual hydrogen chloride.
  • an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide
  • the time required for completion of the reaction depends upon several factors but, apart from a few exceptions, it is normally within the range of 3 minutes to 1 hour.
  • the yield of carbamate obtained by the process of the present invention varies according to the nature of R but is most usually within the range of -90 percent.
  • carbamates which may be prepared by the process of the present invention include isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate, sec-butyl-N-phenyl carbamate, n-butyl N-phenyl carbamate, phenyl N-phenyl carbamate, isopropyl N-3-chlorophenyl carbamate, isopropyl N-3,4-dichlorophenyl carbamate, isopropyl N-5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl carbamate, isopropyl N- 3-methylphenyl carbamate, 4-chlorobut-2-ynyl N-mchlorophenyl carbamate, cyclohexyl N4-nitrophenyl carbamate, cyclohexyl N-cyclohexyl carbamate, phenyl N-hexyl carbamate, l-naphthyl N-methyl carbamate, ethyl N-benzyl carb
  • a secondary amine hydrochloride is formed as a byproduct of the reaction.
  • it may be removed, for example, by centrifuging or filtering.
  • the solvent and/r excess hydroxy compound may be removed by distillation or by filtration if both the amine hydrochloride and the carbamate are insoluble and the amine hydrochloride and carbamate are separated subsequently by solvent extraction.
  • the free amine may be recovered quantitatively by reaction of the hydrochloride with an alkali.
  • the carbamate obtained is normally isolated from the amine hydrochloride and solvent as described above. 1n some cases, however, such techniques do not adequately isolate the product from the excess hydroxy compound. This is particularly the case when the hydroxy compound is a phenol, in which case excess phenol may be extracted from the reaction product by washing with aqueous alkali.
  • the carbamates obtained by'the process according to the present invention have a number of important uses, especially as agricultural chemicals, in medicine and in polymer chemistry.
  • EXAMPLE 1 Dry hydrogen chloride gas was passed through a solution of 6.0 g. l,1-diethyl-3-phenylurea and 12 g. nbutanol in 60 g. dichlorobenzene at 125C. Infra-red analysis was used to monitor the progress of the reaction. The reaction was complete after minutes and the reaction mixture was then cooled and filtered to remove diethylamine hydrochloride (3.5 g.) in 100 percent yield. The volatiles were distilled from the filtrate under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallised from petroleum ether (b.p. 6080C.) to give 5.4 g. (90 percent of theory) n-butyl N-phenyl carbamate; melting point 5961C.
  • EXAMPLE 2 6.0 g. 1,1-Diethy1-3-phenylurea were treated with dry hydrogen chloride gas and 4.0 g. isopropanol in 60 g. o-dichlorobenzene in the manner described in Example 1 to give diethylamine hydrochloride (3.5 g.) in 100 percent yield and 4.8 g. (86 percent of theory) isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate; melting point 8485C.
  • EXAMPLE 3 3.0 g. Trimethylurea were treated with dry hydrogen chloride gas and 6.0 g. l-naphthol in 90 g. 0- dichlorobenzene for 45 minutes at 160C. The solvent was then distilled from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure and the resiude was washed first with water to remove dimethylamine hydrochloride and then with dilute aqueous potassium hydroxide to remove excess l-naphthol. The remainder of the residue was recrystallised from benzene/petroleum ether to give 2.8 g. (47 percent of theory) l-naphthyl N-methyl carbamate; melting point 139-l41C.
